I actually thought some of the scenery was breathtaking as in LOTR quality.

You know when you see them.

I’ll back that list.

Felt like a generic action flick to me. But glad you liked it!

Who else caught the Masters of Teras Kasi reference?

Oh yes, my favorite reference.

I think a lot of people just use the RT audience scores to talk **** between faps and feel all vindicated about it. I'd guess every DisWars movie will go this way now that they've found the weakness in the Death Star.

But I don't have a youtube video to back that up so we'll never know for sure.

Meh to RT scores. I make my own mind up.

Ahhhhh

I liked the movie hello lol

I just posted my review for Wor-Gar like 5 pages back lol

I hated the cameo but still enjoyed the overall movie.

Hmm. Let me check your parameters for irregularities.

Must impress master Khev mode set at 95%

Enable critique trigger mode seeing anything from the PT set at 105%

Be impressed by anything with loud explosions and shiny colours at 85%

Disney shill mode 90%

Everything seems okay. No need to reset you for now.

I read movie reviews like I read beer reviews - not for the score but the discussion. If there are elements that I like, I don't care if that one guy from fartypants.com liked or didn't like them. But it's sometimes a helpful tip to check something out that I might have otherwise skipped.

The number crunch seems good to me.

7/10 for me. Liked it, better than TLJ. I thought he did a decent job as Solo, but he looks more like Ford then sounds like him. Just felt so-so, nothing special. Lots of missed opportunities. And the one surprise, was not a pleasant one, for me at least. I guess they were looking to shock the audience, but it felt really out of place to me.

Talking about a certain black clad figure?

And shocked it did.

My jaw was on the ground.

But what a poor choice of character really really bad decision.

It easily should’ve been

Throw Mama From The Train
Robocop
Attack of the Clones












The Dark Knight


I can't honestly rank SW as Solo is too fresh and TLJ has gone up and down dramatically for me the more I consider it.

U da real MVP

I guess if Disney is going keep saturating us with Star Wars movies they have to come up with fresh ideas and new baddies and Jedi free stories. Eventually it will feel like Star Wars.

I enjoyed R1 because it focused more on the “wars” aspect and less on the Jedi.....so I’m fine moving away from that aspect.

I get the gangster aspect due to Han’s alliances and whatnot.....didn’t feel much of a threat from this villain especially knowing Han, Chewie and Lando survive to be in other films

Speaking of Lando...people raving about the performance. I didn’t find him outshining anyone else in the film. I found them all on par

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

I saw the movie last night, seeing it again with my bro in law in an hour. I'm expecting to like it more on the second viewing.... but liked it enough the first.

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

Deadline is now reporting that Solo is falling well behind the early projections despite the solid Thursday night. Estimates now have Solo earning $33M for the day on Friday, which as a result only put Solo in the $80-$90M range for its three day haul. It gets a little better with projections pointing to a $105-$115M four day total. These numbers could fluctuate as the day goes on, but this would be a much softer opening than expected, with original projections being in the $170 million range

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

Rankings anyone?

SW
ESB
RO
ROTJ
TFA
Solo
ROTS
TPM
AOTC
TLJ

I really liked Rogue One, and enjoyed but wasn't enthusiastic about TFA (which I'd give a 7/10). I pretend the PT doesn't exist, and can't stand TLJ. Solo isn't as bad as the PT, and definitely isn't as rage-worthy as TLJ. It's a mediocre film, with serious flaws given the context within the mythology. I'd give it about a 7.5 as a film, but a a 5/10 as a Star Wars film.

It's easy to complain about the direction Disney has taken. On a positive note, some of the directors I'd like to see interpret the Star Wars universe: Alfonso Cuarón, Denis Villeneuve, Christopher Nolan, Guillermo del Toro, David Fincher, Matt Reeves and George Miller.

which is ridiculous because this universe has hundreds of planets and thousands of alien creatures..... you would THINK that they could come up with all kinds of stories for them to do............they could do every genre, action, horror, sci fi, western, they could have come up with so many things already......
they literally have a galaxy full of people and aliens that could be explored. yet they cant go away one inch from the original trilogy or the jedi or the stuff everyone knows already
